This DT-ACMK2 unit (DTxxxx) is pre-programmed based on the information provided at the time of order. Please ensure you use the card reader inputs and MOXA outputs exactly as outlined in this article.

1. Preparation

Use multi-core 22 AWG (or thicker) shielded security cable for reliable reads. The cable length between the card reader and access panel should not exceed 80 metres.

If installing multiple readers at one location, each must have a separate cable to prevent interference and maintain performance.

2. Installation

2.1. Card readers

Both swipe and keypad card readers communicate using the Wiegand protocol.

Each reader requires four connections back to the card reader inputs on the access panel:

• 12V+ (Red)

• 12V– (Black)

• Data 0 (Green)

• Data 1 (White)

Please ensure each connection is:

• Securely connected

• Properly isolated from the others

This helps avoid potential cross talk or signal interference at the cable join point and ensures reliable operation of the card reader system.

2.2. Card reader inputs

The card reader inputs are located on the bottom left-hand side of the access panel and are numbered 1 to 8.

Each reader input is connected via a breakout terminal block, labeled as follows:

• 12V+

• 12V–

• GND

• Data  1

• Data 0

Each numbered block of terminals corresponds to an individual card reader input. Ensure connections are made accurately to the correct terminal group to maintain proper reader functionality.

2.3. Preconfigured card reader inputs

The following inputs have been preconfigured on this panel.

Ensure the relevant card reader is connected to the correct input:

• Input 1 → Turnstile 1 – Entry

• Input 2 → Turnstile 1 – Exit

• Input 3 → Turnstile 2 – Entry

• Input 4 → Turnstile 2 – Exit

• Input 5 → Unused

• Input 6 → Unused

• Input 7 → Unused

• Input 8 → Unused

Ensure connections are double-checked before powering the system to avoid configuration issues.

2.4. MOXA outputs

The MOXA outputs are located at the top left-hand corner of the access panel. These consist of six normally open (NO) relays, numbered R0 to R5.

Each relay is connected via terminal blocks labeled:

• MOXA-RX-NO (Normally Open)

• MOXA-RX-C (Common)
  (Where X represents the relay number, e.g., R0, R1, etc.)

Each relay serves as an individual output to control an external device such as:

• Boom gates

• Turnstile (Entry/Exit)

• Maglock doors (with special configuration)

For applications like maglock doors that require switched power, these relays can be configured as normally closed (NC). In such cases, the negative line is switched through the MOXA relay to enable or disable power.

Ensure correct relay configuration based on the connected device’s requirements.

2.5. Preconfigured MOXA outputs

The following MOXA outputs have been preconfigured on this panel.

Connect each relay output to the appropriate device being controlled:

• MOXA 1 R0-NO/C → Turnstile 1 – Entry

• MOXA 1 R1-NO/C → Turnstile 1 – Exit

• MOXA 1 R2-NO/C → Turnstile 2 – Entry

• MOXA 1 R3-NO/C → Turnstile 2 – Exit

• MOXA 1 R4-NO/C → Unused

• MOXA 1 R5-NO/C → Unused

Make sure devices are securely wired and tested after connection.
